Well after several months of NFF investigations and multiple pressure tests, BMW Germany have authorised a new turbo and exhaust manifold for my car. Not sure why the exhaust manifold unless the turbo mounting is different.
For reference, I was using 140ml of coolant every 1,000 miles. This is basically from min to max in the expansion tank. So over a 20,000 mile service interval this equates to 2.8 litres .... 1.4 litres every 10,000 miles. Hopefully these monthly top ups are behind me

IIRC, the turbo and the exhaust manifold are an integrated unit.

So did the dealer figure out if the coolant was running back into the intake or exhaust then? One way is better than the other, but neither is obviously good for the car. Glad they found a possible fix for you.

They found evidence of water stains in the exhaust down pipe and sent pictures to BMW Germany and they approved the turbo Change. Fingers crossed my monthly coolant top ups are behind me now 👍

So Germany has to authorize even just a turbo replacement? Engine i understand and that's common in the industry at this point but not the turbo, that's interesting if that's true...

Remember he is in England, I presume BMWNA would be the authority for us in the States.

Good point...
Still, i question why all that authorization power is needed for a turbo.
